Razer Nostromo

Intro

This time we have something new - and also old - from Razer. The game controller in
question is the Nostromo, which is a kind of gaming keyboard. Nostromo as a name may
sound familiar and in fact, the Belkin Nostromo was the first item that we reviewed in
MetkuMods when the site started doing product reviews. Razer has since released an
upgraded version of the original pad. Now lets see what Razer has done to get this
design up to date.

Just like most other peripheral, also the Nostromo comes packed in a flashy package
with an opening door that reveals the gaming pad inside. The features and specifications
are printed all around the box.

The Nostromo features 16 fully customizable buttons, 8-way thumb pad and a scroll
wheel. It also has 20 profiles for different games and via the software, one can record
unlimited macros to the customizable keys. Just like most high-end keyboard it's also
backlit.

Bundle

The bundle is limited to Razer product catalog, manual and two stickers. The drivers
can be downloaded from the Razer site, so you always get the latest version. The cable
is about two meters long and covered in the same braiding we've seen on the cables of
many gaming mice.
